Personal Broadcasting Systems
Everyone knows about big broadcasting companies, like ABC, BBC, CBC, CBS, NBC and FOX. What a person uses to broadcast online, from a home or office, is similar to these big networks, but the equipment you or I might use is considerably smaller
You might be wondering, What am I talking about, and How much will all this cost?
I’m talking about setting up a small audio-video system in your home or office for $1-2000. You can spend $10-20,000, if you prefer, but it's not necessary. If you invest only $1000 in a personal broadcasting system (PBS), you can have a small but functioning online broadcasting system, designed for you and your friends.
If you wish, you can make improvements to your online PBS, by investing, perhaps, a thousand dollars a year. Over ten years, you can create a totally professional system.
In the world of broadcasting, it’s all about quality. ie. video quality and quality of sound. The more you spend, the better you might look in online broadcasts, but excellent quality in sound and video takes years to develop, and can cost $5-10,000 and more.
At the lower end of broadcast quality, we find Smartphones. A Smartphone can function as a handheld PBS, but a Smartphone is not a real PBS, because the picture and sound quality is very limited. It’s hard to look like a big star on a small screen. Think of a Smartphone as a practise PBS. A bigger stage is the natural next step.
Here are some of the stages you might consider in creating your personal PBS.
But there's no need to rush into this. It's premature to think about producing top quality online broadcasts at this point. Online broadcasting is a brand new science. We're still learning what works, and what doesn't work. So, let’s start at the beginning, and take a look at level one PBS (Personal Broadcasting Systems), that cost only $1-2000.
There are several highly rated, low-cost systems, which can provide basic PBS functions: with computer, camera and audio inputs, for around a thousand dollars..
